Chapter 332: Jade Unicorn Huo Fei
Xidaying stationed 150,000 imperial guards.
Chen Zhen is the son of Chen Xiuwen, the Minister of War. He is 30 years old. He is the deputy general of General Huo Fei, the fourth rank. On weekdays, everyone respectfully calls him "General Chen" for the sake of the Secretary of Chen and the Empress Dowager.
Qianyuan Palace was bombed, and the shocking thunder came out of the city. The army was particularly sensitive to the sound of artillery, because they knew what that meant. The sound of artillery came from the city, and it was obvious that something big happened, and the imperial guards were talking about it.
Chen Zhen was shocked by the sound of cannons. It’s not that he was afraid. It was because the fate of the Chen clan and the royal family were in harmony. If the emperor had any mistakes, the Chen clan could not have a good end. He paid more attention to him than others.
He hurried to find General Huo Fei.
As a result, he was blocked outside the general's mansion.
Huo Fei didn't see him.
Chen Zhen was anxious and asked, "Why is the general not in a hurry when something big happened?"
The personal guard said unhappily: "What's wrong? Do you know?"
Chen Zhenran was silent, he really didn't know.
But why didn't the general see him?
Many low-level generals came later.
The personal guard had to report it in, but Huo Fei still did not show up and only sent an order: the generals and officials were not allowed to act rashly. If there was something wrong, they would have their own will to mobilize troops.
This is the reason. However, everyone urgently needs the Lord General to comfort him. If the Lord General refuses to comfort him, they feel uncomfortable as if they are not eating milk.
Chen Zhen was particularly uneasy. His father Chen Xiuwen was detained in the northern border by King Xuanwu Zhang Boyuan. The Chen family had no father in charge and felt like they had lost their backbone. He was stationed outside the city, and it was difficult to meet the emperor and the empress dowager.
Huo Fei disappeared, so he had to go back.
He had a separate residence in the army.
Soon, the general's mansion became calm.
The guards went in to reply to Huo Fei.
In the study, Huo Fei leaned on the Arhat bed in a depressed spirit. The depth of the Arhat bed was close to the length, which shortened the visual effect. It did not look like a bed, but more like a wide and exquisite seat, three screen-like reliefs on the back of the chair, carved with the Yun-Swallowing Beast, and the fenced handrails on both sides, like five enclosed low screens. It can be seen that the owner of the Arhat bed is a person who is exquisite and tasteful.
Huo Fei really gave the impression that this is true.
He was only twenty-six years old, and he was handsome and heroic. He was the top scholar in martial arts at the age of nineteen. The late emperor Zeng Jinkou praised him as the "Dajing Yuqilin".
Yu Qilin was attacked by his subordinates last night.
On the right hand of the Arhat bed was a commander, about twenty-one or two years old, with his surname Yun and name He, and he had something to do with the Zhang family of the Xuanwu royal family.
Huo Fei heard that Chen Zhen and others had left, so he glanced at Yun He and said, "When can you delay this until this time? Unless you kill this general."
Yun He admired the general very much. He didn't lose his temper even after being plotted against. He was very graceful and well-educated. He would have scolded him if he had been replaced.
Yun He smiled and said, "A day is enough." Then he confessed, "How dare the general bet on the wrong side, let alone kill him."
Huo Fei said: "You are already abrupt."
Yunhe smiled dryly and said, "Love is a must."
Huo Fei sneered: "Rebellion is a must-have?"
Yun He looked upright and said, "The general's loyal subordinates understand, but no matter how loyal the general is, can he still compare with the Lord Zhongyi? Look at the fate of Lord Zhongyi, isn't the general still alert? The foolish monarch is just using the general."
Huo Fei was silent for a while and said, "Eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king."
Yun He read the words Wang He told him again in his heart, and then said: "The general is invincible and should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and should not be trapped in the dispute over the power of the court. Just like the champion Hou Huo Qubing - the general has the same surname as him."
Huo Fei said: "What qualifications do you have to persuade me to say this? King Xuanwu is not provoking civil strife? Why don't you kill foreign enemies with your heart?"
Yun He glared and said, "The general stood and spoke without any pain. If he killed the enemy on the battlefield, he would not have the support of the army, food and grass in the rear? How did Mr. Zhongyi die? The general didn't know? If the general killed the enemy in the front, someone cut off the general's food and grass in the rear, and seized and held the general's family. Can the general be tolerated by the enemy from both sides? "
Huo Fei: "..."
He closed his eyes.
Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief.
It's done!
He also knew that being able to convince Huo Fei was not because he was good at eloquence, but because Huo Fei was dissatisfied with Emperor Jiaxing's behavior against Lord Zhongyi and King Xuanwu. It was not that Huo Fei was standing on the side of King Xuanwu, but he just felt unfair for the soldiers on the frontier. The gods and the little ghosts suffered, and the soldiers on the frontier were innocent. Emperor Jiaxing only cared about the imperial power, but damaged morale and disrupted the morale of the army. Although Huo Fei was dissatisfied, he was unwilling to participate in King Xuanwu's rebellion. Yun He controlled him, and he was so happy that he let go and did not help each other.
Yun He just wanted them not to help each other.
Besides, Chen Zhen stayed in the barracks for the whole morning. In the afternoon, the imperial guards suddenly reported back and forth that someone was looking for him at the gate of the camp.
His heart moved and he rushed out.
A pretty boy holding a bag and a beautiful maid in a cloak stood in front of the Xidaying gate without hiding his head covering his face. He exposes his face openly to the cold wind, and his cheeks are red by the cold wind.
This made the gatekeeper less alert.
Chen Zhen saw that he didn't know each other and was very confused. He stepped forward and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
The beautiful maid, Huo Huangying, hurried forward, bowed her blessing, and said softly: "I have met General Chen. My master asked me to send a message to the general."
Chen Zhen asked: "Who is your master?"
Huo Huangying said: "The general will know by reading the letter."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms.
Chen Zhen took it and opened it and saw it, and was shocked. The letter was written in the Simplified Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Chen Zhen had seen official documents written in the Simplified Chinese and Simplified Chinese in his father's study, so he recognized the handwriting of Simplified Chinese and Simplified Chinese, and the letter was covered with the seal of the Right Prime Minister. Simplified Chinese and Simplified Chinese are in the letter, and there are important things to tell you, but it is not convenient to put them on the paper. Please take the maid to a hidden place to ask.
The imperial guards were not allowed to leave the barracks at will, but Chen Zhen had a high position and a special status - he was a relative of the queen, the queen mother, and the descendants of the tribe. He was willing to give him convenience for his small matters and was more flexible than ordinary people.
At that moment, he greeted the camp guard and told General Huo to call him to find him in a certain place, and then leave with Huo Huangying and the others.
In the backyard of a tavern in Qizhen, Chen Zhen looked at Li Hanyao, whose identity was the servant Zhuang Xia, and said that the mutiny in the imperial city was passed.
Li Hanyao used the Spring and Autumn style to explain the mutiny of the Imperial City, and emphasized that at present, Emperor Jiaxing is trapped in the Taimiao, and most of the Dragon and Tiger Guards rebelled, so the emperor was in a worry. When the Emperor was knocked down by the Qianyuan Hall, he was injured by the rafters, and the beam fell and hit the imperial case. The military talisman was unknown where the military talisman fell. The Dragon Guard rushed in to save the emperor and snatched the jade seal, but he had no time to find the military talisman.
Without military talismans, the soldiers and horses in Xidaying could not be mobilized to rescue the horse.
As a last resort, the emperor drafted two secret decrees, one for Chen Zhen and the other for Cui Hua. Now, the emperor can only trust the Chen family. Jia Yuan, the general of the Tiger Imperial Guard, rebelled and surrendered to King Xuanwu, but did he know if General Huo Fei of Zhenyuan rebelled?
A sense of sadness echoed in Chen Zhen's heart, his eyes turned red, and he thought angrily: "Huo Fei must have been betrayed! I said why could he be so abnormal?"
Li Hanyao took out the imperial edict.
Chen Zhen hurriedly knelt down and answered the order.
The imperial edict is a black cow horn handle, which is for fourth-rank officials; the content is written by Lu Hanlin, and the handwriting is bright and round. Chen Zhen has also seen Lu Chang's handwriting, so it is confirmed that it is true. The imperial edict is covered with a bright red jade seal, which is also true.
The content of the imperial edict: Chen Zhen was asked to lead a team of confidants to protect the eunuchs from the firearm development center in the suburbs of Beijing and pass the imperial edict to General Cui Hua.
Didn’t he ask him to lead his troops to rescue him?
Chen Zhen asked in confusion.
